We are finishing up teacher gifts in our house.  Each of my three kids made four of these.  They had a surprising amount of fun making them...even my 12 year old.  Above is my son working on the one he made for his teacher.  He messed one of them up (the paint ran a little) and he wasn't happy.  He couldn't even think about giving her that one.  We had to buy a new one so he could start again.  He's such a gentle, caring soul.  I hope he is always like that.


Oldest got super creative with hers.  I think the flowers are very impressive.  She decided that she was giving all of hers to the lunch ladies.  It's hard with her lunch lady  mama to argue with that.

 Middle daughter took just as much time with hers as youngest.  She went so far as to decorate one with her teacher's favorite football team logo and colors. 

The have a pack of Extra gum inside of them.  They are super simple to make.  Just wrap the gum up in card stock, add a belly band and embellish.   On the front I stamped Moo-chas Grass-ias


On the back is a label that says Thank you for all the "extra" things you do that often go unnoticed.


Have you made any creative teacher crafts?  Leave me a comment and/or a link and tell me about them.
